Geopolitical Conflicts Impact China’s Cross-Border E-Commerce Export Growth
The escalation of logistics costs due to Middle Eastern conflicts and weak demand in Western markets have hindered the growth momentum of China's cross-border e-commerce exports. Logistics providers like DHL have increased fuel surcharges, coupled with previous adjustments to U.S. tariff policies, putting profit pressure on platforms like Temu and Shein.

何が起きたのですか？
The growth of China's cross-border e-commerce exports has been hindered by rising fuel costs due to the Middle Eastern conflict and weakened demand from Western consumers. In April, the export value dropped 10.9% year-on-year to $9.81 billion, marking five consecutive months of decline. Soaring logistics costs and the U.S. earlier removal of the low-value package tariff exemption further tightened profit margins for relevant platforms.
